During the two-hour session, Parveen Huda made various presentations and said that girls cannot make their own decisions. From here they started falling behind. However, times have changed and now we have to make our own decisions. Millions of data are being added to the world every day. Parveen Sultana Huda also commented that she has to keep herself updated with this information every day to achieve her goal.
After the introductory segment, she moved towards the way of planning a career. She said you need to align your brain and mind like create self-awareness about setting a smart goal, create a career mindset, emotional inteligence, etc. Market analysis, career research, and networking are also important as well.
